In the county government office, when he received the news from the guards, the panicked County Magistrate Cui no longer cared about his image and exclaimed in front of the large-scale county households: "What did you say? The enemy attacked the city, and the Nangong County Magistrate died?"

Rebels' siege of cities is not new. Not to mention that they can be encountered every year, but they will always encounter one wave in three to five years, and everyone has long been used to it.

But the battle had just begun, and the county magistrate who was in charge of the city defense received a boxed lunch, which was extraordinary.

"Yes, sir. The fat man led by the rebels was very powerful. He shot three shots from five hundred meters away, and shot Nangong's captain, Zhou Qianhu, Liu Qianhu, and seriously injured Tong Baihu and Duan Sima."

The guards said that, poured a basin of cold water on everyone again. Although these officers were not masters, they were also rare military talents. At least they were considered good generals in this acre of three-point land in Longshan County.

Now it is a major blow to the next city defense.

After calming down, County Magistrate Cui glanced at everyone and said, "Everyone, now we are all grasshoppers on the same rope. Everyone's family business is in the city. If the rebels break through the city, we will not be able to get anything better.

At this time of crisis, I hope everyone can work together and work together to defend Longshan County."

Although the family business is not entirely in the city, the county town is the foundation of everyone. Since entering the chaotic times, everyone has tacitly moved the castle into the county town and gathered together to keep warm.

The Great Zhou Empire has undergone many years of changes. The era of eating shrimps with small fish has ended, and now it has entered the era of eating small fish with large fish.

Once a small family loses its foundation, it is only a matter of time before it is eaten by others. Look at the county towns that were captured by the rebels, you will know that the local local families have lived a miserable life.

After the rebels took action, everyone's property became a homeless thing. The next step was to use their own means to get whoever got it.

How can small families with small families who are already seriously injured in vitality compete with large families in the county? It would be fine if there are children outside to be officials, everyone will give them some face; if there is no one in the court, waiting for their fate will be wiped out.

A large part of the warriors in the rebels came from small and declining families. The reason why everyone opposed Zhou was to get back what they had lost.

"Mr. County Magistrate, my Chen family is willing..."

Before Chen Jiazhu could finish his words, he heard a loud "boom" sound, the earth began to tremble, and the tiles on the roof also kept falling.

Unpredictable, County Magistrate Cui, who was a civil servant, fell a dog to eat shit, and two of his front teeth were knocked off. What's even more tragic was that a pot of tea fell off on the coffee table and he had a hot bath.

Everyone was stunned by the sudden change. After reacting, everyone immediately stepped forward to help the miserable Magistrate Cui.

But the fighting spirit that everyone finally mentioned was gone, and pessimism kept brewing indoors.

In order to stabilize the hearts of the people, County Magistrate Cui did not care about his own injuries and said calmly: "Everyone, take people to defend the city immediately!

The city-mopping formation was broken, so we could only fight to the death. I will take the official seal and go up to the city wall with everyone.

This official gave the emperor the order to guard one side, but could not protect the territory and the people, which was a serious crime. Now that the rebels are attacking the city, I can only fight with my life to repay the emperor’s kindness!

'The city is there, and the city is dead!'

Today, the Japanese official will live and die together with Longshan County. Please help me!"

Although County Magistrate Cui showed as much tragic as possible, unfortunately, there were a group of old foxes in front of him, which were not that easy to fool.

An official who is busy making money all day long wants to talk about serving the court with death. How funny it is to look at it.

'The city is there, and the city is dead!'

Such slogans are okay to fool ordinary people, but those with a little knowledge know that this is the basic operation of officials from the Great Zhou Dynasty.

If you lose your city and land, if you don’t die on the battlefield and the court asks about the crime, it means that the whole family will be in trouble.

Don’t expect to run away. There are so many ways to find people in this world. If an official in the court disappears, the government will definitely track down the situation. Under the involvement of cause and effect, it is not difficult to find people.

There is still a glimmer of hope for hard work. If you don’t fight, you will die. The only difference is whether you die or the whole family.

After all, the weak scholars who can mobilize the power of the country to fight are also lethal. Although they are krypton-minded, they must have the awareness of sacrifice after receiving the salary of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Even though he knew that County Magistrate Cui was going to pull everyone to fight to the death, everyone still dared not refuse. The Great Zhou Empire did not have much binding force on top families, but it was still shocking to these small families.

If he doesn't cooperate, who knows whether this County Magistrate Cui will give up and directly pull someone to take the blame?

Just a messaging talisman is needed to throw the lost pot on the county town on their heads, which is a disaster of raiding the family.

After looking at each other, everyone endured the discomfort, bowed to the magistrate Cui, and said in unison: "We are willing to serve the work of a dog and a horse!"

...

Looking at the cracked opening on the city wall, the siege army, which had suffered heavy casualties, instantly boosted its morale.

The formation was broken. Although I don’t know how to break the formation, I still achieved my goal in the end.

As for the person you accidentally injured by breaking the formation, you are not taken seriously by everyone at all. The most valuable thing in troubled times is human life.

Compared to everyone's surprise, Li Mu still had a expressionless face. Now he turned his attention to the speculators who were making soy sauce and told these people with his eyes that it was time to fulfill his promise.

One after another, signal flares began to rise up. Li Mu knew that everyone was starting to shake people.

We have to admit that human potential is forced out and we cannot afford expensive messaging talismans. These guys have also developed their own messaging methods. Although it is not as useful as messaging talismans, they are better at the cheapest ones.

In fact, all the people are not far from the county town. It is estimated that it is only a dozen miles away, just waiting for the last moment to come and pick peaches.

When Li Mu met such a pig teammate, he was powerless to complain. But this was fine. Everyone was a combination of interests that calculating each other, and he would not have any pressure when he turned against each other in the future.

Now he found that what the "Tianxiang Girl" said is indeed reasonable. Business is business and must not involve feelings.

The reinforcements outside the city had not arrived yet, and the incense-smelling scholars in the city had already begun to launch. The people who were unwilling to go up to the city wall to work hard for the Great Zhou were now fighting against the county soldiers with weapons.

Under the inspiration of the Scent of Incense, many of the temporary recruitment of the village warriors also mutinized, making the defenders in a mess.

As soon as several officers in charge emerged, they were plotted against by the killer of the Winter Sorting Sect lurking among them, and the situation in the city was almost out of control.

The successive changes made County Magistrate Cui on the verge of collapse. He was an expert in playing with power, so it would be too embarrassing to use soldiers to fight.

Even if it is a simple talk on paper, he cannot do it because there are no military books to read. All military tactics are monopolized by the nobles, and only outstanding children are qualified to learn.

If you can lead people to the city wall to work hard, you will perform beyond your level. It is really embarrassing to dispatch troops and deal with emergencies on the battlefield.

I can only rely on my feelings to treat my head with headaches and feet to treat my feet with pain, and I can’t grasp the root of the disease at all. It makes my subordinates suffer and feel resentful.

...

Above the city tower, several large-scale residents of the county gathered together and whispered:

"Elder Wang, this county magistrate asked us to defend the city at a time, and then transferred our people to the city to quell the rebellion. He was not a soldier at all. What should we do now?"

Unlike other families, they are all rich and honored in Longshan County. The foundation of the Wang family has been transferred to the county, and only an elder is left behind in the nest.

Although the family's foundation is not here, the clan is located in Longshan County. The ancestors' foundation must not be lost, and Elder Wang's mood is not much better than these people.

But now it’s not the time to pour cold water on it. If these guys can’t bear the pressure and run away, Longshan County will really not be able to defend it.

Even the family land cannot be kept. Once the news spreads, the reputation that the Wang family has worked hard to manage will be ruined.

Competitors will definitely put down the blame and slander them. Perhaps the names of the three major families in Hanchuan County will be shaken.

"Don't worry, I have already rescued the clan. The Supreme Elder has come out of seclusion and will arrive in Longshan County soon.

The family is putting pressure on the county, and it is estimated that reinforcements have set out. As long as we hold on to this wave of offensive, the rebels will not be afraid."

This is not only for everyone to hear, but also for cheering myself up. I keep hinting that the rebels are not afraid of.

As for reinforcements, it is all nonsense. The situation in the county is in chaos, and you don’t make a fuss about it. Don’t expect the army to set off.

Anyway, the rebels' besiege of the city is nothing new. It happens almost every year, and everyone has long been used to it. As long as the county is not really broken, the bureaucrats in the county will not take it seriously.

If you want to obtain reinforcements in the shortest time, unless the Wang family is willing to use their own private troops to rescue them. Unfortunately, this is impossible. If you fight with the rebels, who will be responsible for the losses?

In this kind of chaotic times, preserving strength is the first priority. As a special and absolutely necessary, everyone is reluctant to use their own strength to fight for the Great Zhou.

The head of the Chen family, who was standing by, suggested: "There are not many rebels outside the city, otherwise we will gather our troops to fight out and defeat this rebel first.

Maybe it can still shock the enemy, but maybe several other rebels dare not come. The danger of the county town will be solved!"

The Duan family leader behind him hurriedly interrupted: "Brother Chen, this matter must not be done. According to the Ma Lai report, there are a large number of rebels gathered ten miles away.

Now, the tens of thousands of people outside the city are mostly baits deliberately released by the enemy and deliberately led us out of the city.

Although the city-mopping formation is gone now, at least there is still a city wall to protect it. As long as you bet on those gaps, it will not be easy for the enemy to attack the city.

Once we leave the city and fight, it will be different. Maybe we fight at the east gate and the enemy will come in from the west.

Since ancient times, sieges have always been surrounded by three without one. Have you heard that one is surrounded by three without three? This kind of practice that goes against common sense is definitely not a coincidence.

The rebels can think of the way to break the formation, and there must be great forces behind them. We must not act rashly and fall into the enemy's trick."

While speaking, the few people glanced at Elder Wang with their own eyes. Here, Longshan County was destroyed, and the Wang family was the most likely to make a profit.

Once everyone is finished, it is almost inevitable that the Wang family will swallow the largest piece of fat with the power of the county.

Although the clan land was destroyed, it would hurt reputation and lose face; but in the face of interests, nothing is uncompromising.

The bloody battle continued. Although Li Mu deliberately suppressed the siege and waited for the joining of his allies, the battle did not stop.

Some people kept falling down and some people kept making up. The army did not collapse, it was entirely due to the supervision team.

The speculators who were involved in the team all tried hard to drive their subordinates forward. Cannon fodder is not worthwhile. As long as they can break through the county town, some sacrifices are not worth mentioning.

There was fierce fighting on the city wall, and there were also shouts of killing in the city. Rolling smoke of gunpowder continued to rise, as if telling endless pain in blood and fire.

The wait did not last long, perhaps because everyone was too excited, or perhaps because they were worried that the defenders would restore the formation, so all the troops arrived at the city soon.

With the addition of the new force, they were surrounded from all directions, and the siege became more and more bloody.

At this time, the rebel army became more and more chaotic, and Li Mu, the temporary commander-in-chief, had no binding force on all the people who joined the road.

To sum up, it is: You hit yours, I hit mine. Wherever you attack, it depends on everyone's mood.

Military tactics and tactics are completely unnecessary. Now everyone has only one goal: to break through the county town in front of them and make a fortune.

Many ants bite the elephant to death, not to mention that the defenders are far from being an elephant. Faced with the continuous rebel army, the city defense was finally broken.
